There’s no point in retracting if I’m not wrong. I have admitted to error numerous times on this forum, just not to you, because I find perhaps (as apparently do others) in the cases we disagree (most), your arguments to not be logical. In this particular case, your opinion isn’t wrong per se, but your inability to see legitimacy in the other side is.
I’ll try one more time.
1) Gift giving on the chogo has religious significance.
2) We specifically copied it from them, in the sense that we do it on the holiday which falls in the same season (because we didn’t want our kids to be jealous).
This is dissimilar to your examples.
